Summary

It has previously been reported that participatory art-based activities may improve social inclusion, well-being, quality of life and health condition. Findings from the investigator's first study seem to confirm that the MMFA participatory art-based activity may improve well-being, quality of life and health condition in older community dwellers. However, these studies were performed before the COVID-19 crisis and were guided tours performed at the MMFA. A pilot study on virtual guided tour has been performed during COVID-19 pandemic (spring 2021). There is a need to confirm benefits with a randomized clinical trial.

The hypothesize for this study is that a 3-month cycle of virtual weekly MMFA tours may induce changes in social isolation, well-being, quality of life and health condition (i.e., reduction of frailty) in older community dwellers. Because there is a positive correlation between severity of frailty and the occurrence of undesirable events like Emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations, the investigator hypothesizes that virtual guided tours may decrease the frequency of ED visits and hospitalizations.
